We just had some tree limbs down, not big ones, but small ones. So, we were very lucky. And I prayed to God to keep us all safe. I fear high winds and big storms, more then anything else. So, yes when a hurricane is spotted, I want to pack up and leave this area, and go back to Idaho.
God was good to us. Very minor damage here in our area!
